Lit from within, they look as if they have been used by someone, as their contents bulge their shape. A suitcase holds a life, the things we collect are the things we remember. We try to hold on to these things, especially when we lose our home and when it is uncertain where our future lies. Our time now, it is changing. Standing at this point in time, we can see where we are going and it is not such a beautiful picture. We will not be as free to go anywhere as before, and we must go on a deeper, more spiritual journey to find a light within ourselves.<\/p><p>Lin de Mol, born 1966, was educated at the Rietveld Academy and Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.
